All men are evil

A school of feminism in which all positivehuman traits are ascribed to humans who self-identify as women and all negative human traits are ascribed to humans who self-identify as men. A sub-category of the all-X-are-evilideas which are the basis for all human predjudice. When such ideas are held by a majority in power against an oppressed minority they should be uniformly considered a fundamental moralwrong. More intriguing is the case when they they held by oppressed minority against a majority in power. Since predjudice can be and, demonstratably, often is internalized by the oppressed minority such counter-predjudice may serve the necessary function of bringing consciouness to that internalization.

The all-men-are-evil school of feminism fails to make a distinction between the Patriarchy and Men. Clearly, men (as well as women) are conditioned by the Patriarchy to perpetuate maledomination. One need only exmine the culture of ancient Sparta to see an extreme example of this conditioning in practice. Again, the intriguing question is" what would a man be like in the absense of Patriarchy?" This is the fundamental question of the Men's Movement and answers are being actively sought as well in many branches of Neo-Paganism.

A quote from the afore-mentioned Mary Daly, who forsees and analyzes this type of predictable criticism:

"This will of course be called an ‘anti-male’ book…The use of this label is an indication of intellectual and moral limitations. Despite all the evidence that women are attacked as projections of The Enemy, the accusers ask sardonically: ‘Do you really think that men are the enemy?’ This deception/reversal is so deep that women – even feminists – are intimidated into Self-deception, becoming the only Self-described oppressed who are unable to name their oppressor…" –From Gyn/Ecology: The Metaethics of Radical Feminism

And who gets accused of ascribing to this "all-men-are-evil" doctrine? Any woman who has the gonads to talk about the individual agents that keep this clockwork orange, known in radical feminist circles as the Patriarchy, running smoothly. This is a fantastically effective way to keep the identities of those agents hidden from popular view, to instill the fear of God into free-thinking women whose version of feminism strays from the insipid popular-media Gloria Steinem variety, and to ensure that discussion about rape, sexism, patriarchal brainwashing and brutality stays on a nice safe theoretical level. ‘Nuff said.
